The Grand Tour presenter Richard Hammond can go-ahead with his plans to refurbish a barn to host guests at his castle near Ross-on-Wye.

Herefordshire Council has approved the alterations to the barn at Bollitree Castle to provide en-suite bedrooms.

The plans also include changes to glazed link between two barns and stairs to improve access.

However, listed building consent includes a range of conditions to protect the special architectural and historic interest and integrity of the building.

Planners have yet to consider separate proposals for a new barn to store his collection of cars, as well as tractors
